Sydney Super Star 2

proud of you

"Flight 472 from London to Los Angeles is now boarding."

I grab my bags and start walking toward the gate where my plane is. I stand behind a mom and daughter, seeing them makes me miss my mom so much but I know she is watching over me. We continue to file through the line until I show the lady my boarding pass and get on the plane. I walk through the tunnel and onto the plane. I search for a seat to sit in. I find a seat towards the middle of the plane and sit down near the window. When I sit down I remember how much I absolutely hate flights, heights, and planes in general. I pull out a piece of gum from my bag and pop it into my mouth. I turn my head to look out the window to relax and calm down. The piolet comes over the intercom and says that we are going to start taking off. The planes starts moving and we eventually take off to L.A. 

"Teagan!" I hear and I turn around and see Taylor, Jessie, Kai, and Teagan. I walk over to them with a huge grin on my face "Hey guys!" I say hugging each of them one by one. They all congratulate me on my contract. Taylor helps me put my bags into the trunk and we head off to our apartment. On the drive there everyone is talking about school and other stuff when Taylor asks "Okay T I wanna know did you and Jenna break up or somethin because she came to our apartment the other day and took all of her stuff and left. She had tears in her eyes and didn't say a word to me." Taylor says and all of a sudden the car is quiet. "Yeah we broke up. She said she didn't think she could handle the long distance relationship and being far away from me so she called it off. She said we could be friends but I haven't herd from her." I say and everyone nods. "Little T you really need to take a break from dating." Teagan says and it earns her a punch in the arm from me. "Ouch!" she says and I just chuckle. We eventually pull up to our apartment and I get my bag and we head up. Taylor opens the door and we walk in. "Hey I know you just got here but we all have practice for our games coming up. We have to go." Jessie says "Hey no, no its okay. I am probably going to take a nap and start packing up my stuff." I say and they all nod. They tell me good bye then they leave. I walk over to my room and lock around. Not even 2 months ago I moved into this apartment and now I am moving out. I start taking a few things down like my decorations and my clothes. I start packing them into bags and wrapping it up.

*buzz buzz buzz*

I reach over and shut off my alarm sitting up in bed and rubbing my eyes. I open my eyes and am immediately blinded by the sunlight coming from my windows. I pick up my phone and see that it is 9am. I get out of bed and walk into my restroom and get changed and ready for my day. Today I have a lot to do. I am going to sell my furniture and pack more. I change into shorts and a t-shirt. I took my phone out and took a picture of the TV and posted it on Instagram seeing if anyone wanted to buy it. After I posted it on my story I continued to pack up my stuff, I started putting my shoes into a bag and my clothes in another. Taylor and I decided to leave my bed and she would give me money for it. I took my sheets off and folded them and placed them into another bag. I zipped up the bags that I had on the floor and dragged them to the living room. I walked back into my room and it looked empty. Yeah my bed and tv were there but I had no pictures, no lights, no clothes in my closet besides a hoodie and shorts. All that was left in my restroom was a brush, toothpaste and my toothbrush. I took a moment to just sit and think. "Mom, dad I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for me. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you guys. I wish you were here every single day but I know that is not possible. I miss you and I love you." I say and wipe a tear from my eye. "But please look after me in London. I am nervous and scared. Just please help me through this transition. I love you guys." I finish my thought and my phone buzzes. I open it and see that I got a DM from someone I open it and it is someone wanting to buy the TV. I tell them I can meet whenever and they replied that they would be here in20 minuets. So I had 20 minuets to spare. I grabbed a bag and started to load my car downstairs. I lug two of my suitcases downstairs and into my jeep. I walk back upstairs and grab a duffle bag. I sling it over my shoulder and go and put it into my trunk. I walk back up to my apartment and sit down and go on my phone for a little bit. 

*knock knock knock*

I get up from my seat and walk over to my door and open it. "Hello." I say "Hi um- are you Teagan?" the girl asks me "Yes. Are you the girl interested in the TV?" I ask "yes I am." she says and I open the door more so she could walk in. "Is it okay if my friend comes up?" she asks "sure." I say. She goes on her phone and texts someone. I lead her over to my room and show her the tv and she said she would take it. I hear a knock at my door. "COME IT." I shout and I hear the door open and click and comes in another girl. I help them take it down to their car and they thank me and they pay me. We talk for a little bit then I go back upstairs. I plop myself down on the couch and turn on Love Island. The show is actually really good, so don't judge me. I watch the show until Taylor comes home and we decide to have one last team dinner before I leave. I change into a lemon short sleeve shirt and black ripped jeans and vans. I leave my hair down and wait for Taylor. She eventually comes out in a dress and her hair up. "Ready?" she asks me and I nod. We walk outside to her Jeep and get in. She plays music and we sing along like how we normally do. But this time it is different it will probably be our last time for a while. We pull up to Nobu. "Bro what are we doing here?" I ask knowing how expensive this place is. "Eating duh!" Taylor says opening her door and getting out before I can protest. I get out of the car and we walk into the restaurant. Taylor talks to the hostess and she leads us to the back of the restaurant. When we turn the corner I see all the girls with big smiles on there face. It almost makes me cry. Teagan is the first one to get up and hug me "I am so proud of you kiddo." she says and I smile. "thank you." I say and she kisses me on the cheek. Everyone goes around congratulating me. We all sit down and a waiter comes with our drinks. Taylor stands up with her water in her hand "I would love to give a toast to Teagan. I first met you when it was announced that we were coming to UCLA and something told me to message you and become friends with you. We went out for dinner that night and immediately clicked, you became my bestfriend. I traveled with you and your sister to Huntington Beach to watch you win your first major surf competition. Fast forward a few months we move in together and start college. We are both those awkward freshmen who are just there." Taylor says and everyone chuckles. "But you weren't that. We went to the team meeting and you were like a bee buzzing going around to everybody saying hi. And I was like whoa girl you need to calm down. When you left to go to England you were terrified that you weren't going to do good. You were a wreck." she says and I roll my eyes. "and don't deny it ma'am because you know you were. but you ended up doing huge things over there. For god's sake you signed with Chelsea. Anyways Teagan I am so proud of you, we all are. Good luck out there and kick ass. I love you." Taylor says wiping a tear from her face and everyone claps. I get up and give her a hug. "Thank you, I love you too always." I whisper into her ear. We all talk until our food gets to the table and we all start eating. I look around me, these girls here helped me get to where I am today. I am grateful for them.
